Some quotes from our volunteers:
"Losing themselves in the magic of cinema helps patients forget their pains and illnesses for a couple of hours. It’s a real tonic to them and their visitors – and for me personally, very rewarding."
Rita Culwick, volunteers at MediCinema St Thomas’
“When I volunteered for MediCinema I did not realise how much of a difference I would be making to the wellbeing of children’s’ lives at Yorkhill. Smiles and laughter on leaving MediCinema can only aid recovery and rehabilitation of the children, adults and volunteers. The best non-prescriptive medicine for all.”
Scott Hay, volunteers at MediCinema Yorkhill
“Volunteering at MediCinema is a unique experience. Of course at first, it can be a bit of a challenge when you are not used to being in a hospital – but you quickly understand how important it is to bring distraction to patients and help them to escape from the wards. And what is better than movies for that? MediCinema is a brilliant idea, so inspiring and exciting…for the patients and for the volunteers too! Even after a long and tiring day at work, seeing all these people smiling makes you forget about everything…”
Anne-Sophie, volunteers at MediCinema St Thomas’
“I look forward to my Thursday evenings at MediCinema; the experience has been invaluable to my future career as a nurse.”
Kerri Craven, volunteers at MediCinema Yorkhill
“From an early age I have admired people that care for others. MediCinema has given me the chance to fulfil a major ambition of mine to help others and in the process I have obtained a real sense of achievement and well being. Knowing you’re making people’s stay in hospital a little more bearable and seeing how much better they feel after coming down to the cinema is priceless.”
Jo Fearnley, volunteers at MediCinema St Thomas’
